I used to sell machines and ship them. One customer complained that it took forever to get to the machine and then marveled that nothing was broken. It takes me about an hour to properly pack a machine so that it can withstand what the shippers do to them in transit.

Do pack it well. My husband bought a featherweight for me from eBay and while the case was packed well, the machine wasn't secured well inside the case. It was uninjured, but what was a pristine case now has a hole in it.
If you aren't needing to sell immediately, why not wait a bit and see if there are any interested parties in the UK or even ones who could pickup? I sold some car stuff years ago on eBay and my first interested person wanted me to send it to Germany. I declined and ended up selling something I was given for free to a buyer in the US for $800. It was an easy ship.
